- Note: Modern-day Haredi Judaism is divided between Ashkenazi Hasidic Judaism (guided by the teachings of the Baal Shem Tov) and Haredi non-Hasidim, such as Misnagdim (guided by the teachings of the Vilna Gaon) and much of Sephardic Judaism (guided by the rulings of Yosef Karo) supporters of Shas in Israel.
